IB Case Study
Hello,
I was invited to do a case study interview as part of the next stage of the process.
I was told I’d be given 2 hours to build a DCF and fill out PPT template slides.
Materials provided will be a few qualitative pages on the company (24 hours in advance so I have time to read through them), and an income statement and balance sheet on the day of.
I’ve done a DCF of course but the 2 hour time limit is making me question:
- will a quick and dirty wacc, making assumptions instead of pulling betas be okay here if they don’t supply one?
- any thoughts on high level pages I should be prepared to create for the qualitative portion of the case study?
- does anyone have similar case study examples I can study with?
thank you!
You said you worked at an EB before getting laid off in your previous post. If you don’t know how to make a DCF in your sleep after working in IB I don’t know what to tell you.
Was your comment necessary? Pretty sure I didn’t ask for a tutorial - my questions were specific to prepare for a situation where I’m under time pressure and have limited info. If you work in banking I’m sure you know you rarely have 1 hour to put together a dcf from scratch without knowing what assumptions you’ll have already, so apologies for trying to over prepare
Why are you booing him, he's right
Assuming that you’re pitching the company in this scenario, qualitative slides should probably follow a guide of: Company Overview -> few slides on positioning / growth opportunities -> valuation slide -> maybe a process slide but probably not necessary
Definitely skip the process slide if it’s two hours only and really nail the other ones.
Thank you - agree!
This is such a stupid process to do a case study. Half the time the MD will just throw in random numbers to arrive at a valuation.
